Summary: When Ryoma finds himself in a tough situation, his pride might keep him swimming, but it’s Tezuka who keeps his head above water.
Rating: PG-13
Author’s Note: The end, hurray! I’m quite sure the ending will leave many people dissatisfied, as I took a few cues from Konomi. But I’m mostly just happy to finally lay this fic to rest. Super special thanks goes to
ka0richanfor helping me muddle through the last few chapters and for betaing everything along the way. I really wasn’t very happy with this fic at all, but it appears to have garnered a reaction from some of you and if people are still reading at this point you must have enjoyed it at least a little, so that’s good. We even got some excellent art out of
argentum_luna! (And maybe pictures of a Ryoma pillow and a Tezuka blanket from
yusahana6323one day? *pokes*)
mimineko_chanhas thrown some drabbles into the comments of various chapters as well, for those who are interested.

Anyhow, thanks for reading. I’ve included a master list of all the chapter links under the cut along with the final chapter.
